Ellen Pedersen, ex-Project Manager TACIS, currently manager of the EU export promotion programmes to Japan:
"inno engaged with the European Commission in the process of modernising the naukograds (Scientific Cities) in the Russian Federation. The project team made all the difference in that process, and results emerged in each naukograd. A sound regional Innovation Strategy (the first of its kind in Russia) was approved and implementation started, commercialisation activities from scientific centres took place with concrete return on investments, and related benefits.
A successful project depends on people, ideas, and political will."

Value Creation: development of regional supplier networks in the Republic of Bashkortostan

A collaboration between UNIDO and inno group focused on developing innovative policies that would stimulate the regional supplier network in the Republic of Bashkortostan.

An agglomeration of agro-machinery factories in the Republic of Bashkortostan has triggered the question of whether an innovation policy could stimulate the regional supplier network and nurture the sustainable development of regional small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as the national economy. UNIDO and the inno group worked together on developing tailor-made policies that would fit regional demands.
As part of the response to this inquiry, a research was carried out and a report was written by inno that discussed the possibility of developing innovation policies and the benefits of their implementation. The report looked in closer detail at joint initiatives that would have a significant effect on boosting the regional supplier network while at the same time fostering proximity, trust-based relationships, and flexibility between the major industrial stakeholders in the Republic of Bashkortostan, including the public sector, private companies, and potential strategic partners.
A cluster modernization program and the development of an industrial park were considered as the two main possibilities for the Republic of Bashkortostan since they have the ability to stimulate growth within innovation systems while encouraging simultaneous development of environmental sustainability, economic growth, and social cohesion. The report discussed in greater detail:
 | The impact of clusters on the national producer-driven value chains
|
| Key success factors of clusters
|
| Economic, environmental, and political benefits of industrial parks
|
| Design and management of an industrial park
|
Numerous European best practice cases – including the inno projects Mutual Learning Platform (MLP) as well as Clusters Linked Over Europe (CLOE) – were highlighted in the report and served as benchmarks, inspiration, and food for thought.
The highlights of the report have been presented on the 25th of September, 2007 by Prof. Dr. Peter Heydrebreck in Ufa, Republic of Bashkortostan where all the involved partners have gathered to discuss the future steps of possible innovation policies.
